A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 237 He Family Courtyard

Jia Zhang was sent to the countryside, and that was basically how her life was. All traces of the Jia family in the city disappeared, and now there are still four courtyard houses that have not been settled. Once the settlement is made, who will own the courtyards?

"Silly, let's go to Aunt Li's place together!"

Cai Wenqing looked at He Yukai while holding the things left by Yi Zhonghai. She couldn't think of what she would do if Li refused Yi Zhonghai's things. She couldn't just force them on Li!
"All right!"

He Yukai usually doesn't make things difficult for Cai Wenqing, and the couple has lived together like this for their entire lives, supporting each other, understanding each other, and supporting each other. This is how a couple should be.

Women in later generations are obsessed with shopping, playing mahjong, buying luxury goods, etc. They cannot earn money and only know how to ask for it. Men are under tremendous pressure. Under the pressure of various loans such as mortgages, car loans, etc., they also have to endure many so-called festivals!

Originally there was only one "Chinese Valentine's Day", but in the end we had to find out that we also had to celebrate the Western "Valentine's Day". In the end, it even developed to the point that "520" May th became Valentine's Day. These are not something that can be celebrated with just a little money.

Add to that traditional festivals, their birthdays, and finally Ma’s damn “Double Eleven” shopping festival on various self-media platforms, and the women of later generations have gone completely crazy. They have never thought about where the money comes from.

During festivals, men show off their red envelopes, flowers and gifts, as if they cannot boast of their love without posting on their Moments. As a result, their vanity and the desire to compare are satisfied. The poor men have their backs bent by these numerous "festivals".

As long as they are not satisfied once, they will complain about your incompetence. What He Yukai can't understand is where these fallacies come from? Shouldn't life be managed together?

Men have to consider their elderly parents and young children. They don't care about anything and only know how to spend money. When something happens at home and they are short of money, they start to blame their men for being incompetent.

This distorted understanding makes men miserable, and those self-media constantly promote videos that spread these concepts, constantly brainwashing men.

After a hard day at work, you have to do laundry and cook when you get home at night. You don’t buy clothes once a year, and you are restricted from smoking and drinking when you want to relieve stress. Who are you doing this for?

It is better to treat yourself better than living like this. Why should you spend the money you earn on others? Isn't it better to spend this little money on your parents and children?
Men have become tools to make money, like nannies at home, who lie at home with peace of mind. Their own wages are not enough to spend on themselves, and they can spend most of the men's wages. The abnormal behavior of the later generations makes He Yukai unable to understand it even if he lives his life again.

What's the point of living like that? No wonder the phrase "I won't walk the earthly path in my next life" is so popular, it resonates with many men.

No wonder so many young people don’t fall in love or get married, and they ignore their parents’ urging to get married. The cost of getting married is simply too high.

Not to mention whether there will be divorce after marriage, the money spent on marriage is a one-time expense, and the money accumulated over the years after marriage is the big expense.

Instead of living such a tiring life, it is better to live a free and easy life. Wouldn’t it be great if you can repay your parents for bringing you up and share the money you earn with yourself?

Life is only a few decades long, so why should we become a workaholic and keep asking for things from others? He Yukai is very content. Only after living his life again did he know how people should live. It is enough for him to have an understanding wife, smart and lovely children, and brothers who support each other.

The two came to the backyard, and it seemed that everything that happened in the past reappeared before their eyes. The ups and downs of this courtyard were already history. From now on, the entire courtyard belonged to the He family, and the past was already a thing of the past.

"Aunt Li, I came to see you today for something!"

"Do you need us to move out? We haven't found a house yet. Can you give us a few days?"

"No, that's not what I meant. Yi Zhonghai sold the house to me. He left and left this for us to pass on to you!"

After He Yukai finished speaking, he handed the things in his hand to Li. Li was stunned when she heard the news that Yi Zhonghai was gone. She didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai actually left the courtyard.

"When did you leave? Did you leave any message before you left?"

Although they have become strangers, they have been husband and wife for decades after all. In their old age, they have figured out everything and don't want to care too much about it.

"He is still in a state of mental state. He found out that Qin Huairu had an IUD after Jia Dongxu's death, so he left these things and left. I checked and found two thousand yuan, two gold bars, and his retirement savings! Now I'm handing them over to you..."

"What? Qin Huairu has an IUD? It's broken!"

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"I know Yi Zhonghai. He was depressed before and felt hopeless. Now he has recovered and left these things behind. He looks like he is going to look for Qin Huairu. If he can't find her, it's fine. But if she does, something bad will happen!

Is there any way to find him now?"

"She left in the morning. Qin Huairu left Jia Zhang behind and ran away. I guess it must be difficult to find Qin Huairu, right?"

"I hope so!"

Li was 100% sure that Yi Zhonghai had gone to find Qin Huairu, and would definitely go to extremes after finding Qin Huairu. But now both Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had disappeared, and she could do nothing but worry.

He Yukai pondered over Li's words. Apart from your enemies, perhaps the person who knows you best is your bedmate. He even suspected that Li knew about the affair between He Yuzhu and He Yushui. There was no point in thinking about it now. The problem had been solved. The knot between He Yuzhu and He Yushui had been untied long ago. Let's leave these questions here!

As for whether Yi Zhonghai could find Qin Huairu and how to deal with Qin Huairu after finding him, it was no longer his concern. He now had to deal with the last four families.

"Da Mao, Nan Yi, come in and sit down. Yu Li and Liang Lati, please go to the women's table! It will be more convenient for us to drink!"

He Yukai asked He Yuzhu to cook a few dishes in the evening, and invited Xu Damao and Nan Yi to have dinner to discuss the house matter.

"Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you making such a fuss? We are old brothers now, so this is not necessary, right?"

"Yes, brother, we have known each other for quite some time. It is because of you that Liang Lati and I can come to the steel mill. I am a little uncomfortable with your politeness!" "Haha, everyone is busy now. We really don't have as much time as before. We used to have more time and life was simple. Now society is developing faster and faster, and we old brothers are less together and more apart!
I won't be polite. Both of your families have also bought a courtyard house. Please transfer the house in this courtyard to me!"

"No problem, big brother, Nan Yi and I have discussed this matter. We originally planned to wait until you have acquired all the houses before discussing this matter. Now it seems that we have to transfer them first. Yan Laoxi is determined to do it. I heard from Sha Zhu that he is asking for too much."

"Hey, hasn't Old Man Yan always had this look? We've all gotten used to it. Finally, I have plenty of ways to make this stingy guy give in!

If it's too much, I'll lower the price. If you ask for too much when we're talking, then we'll see how we handle it. This old guy lost a lot of money the last two times, and now he wants to get some back from me. He's treating me like a sucker, haha..."

At this point, He Yukai wanted to laugh out loud. This Yan Laoxi was so interesting. Was he the kind of person who was stupid and had a lot of money? Had he ever suffered a loss in this courtyard? In all these years, had Yan Laoxi ever taken advantage of him?
"Haha, Yan Laoxi is going to suffer at the hands of the eldest brother. He has been well behaved for so many years, but in the end he has to resort to trickery. Why? Isn't it better to keep some friendship? It is beyond doubt that this compound belongs to the He family. I don't believe that Yan Bugui is smart enough to see this. He wants to take advantage in the end. I think he is thinking in the wrong way!"

"Haha, Shamao, after all these years, only this time you have seen things most clearly. I am very relieved! It feels like a fool has finally become smart!"

"Get lost, Silly Zhu. I'm telling you, I haven't agreed to He Xiao and our Nuan Nuan's relationship yet. If you're smart, you'd better keep a low profile. Otherwise, don't blame me for breaking up the couple!"

"Hehe, this is what I'm least afraid of. If you can stop our He Xiao from going to Xu Nuan, I'll still look up to you. Don't you see what your status is at home?
Nuannuan will be my daughter-in-law soon, you'd better keep a low profile, otherwise Xu Nuan will need you to come and invite her to her parents' house in the future. I'm your father-in-law, and I'll see whether Xu Nuan listens to you or our father-in-law."

This is what He Yuzhu is least worried about. If Xu Nuan could listen to you, Xu Damao, it is estimated that things would not have developed to the current stage. They are already talking about marriage, but you are still using your daughter as a token of authority. Aren't you overthinking it?

"Silly, you..."

"What do you mean by me? I just like the way you say it, but I can't get rid of the way I look!"

He Yuzhu drank his tea calmly and glanced at Xu Damao with a sidelong look as if to say, "What can you do to me?" Not to mention Xu Damao, even He Yukai and Nan Yi couldn't help but want to beat him up. He was too arrogant!

"Okay, it's settled. We'll go with the market price. Once you two sell the houses to me, I'll go talk to the guy across the street. I've bought this yard. I'll give him some extra money and ask him to move out. I didn't expect Qin Huairu to come up with this trick in the end!"

"To be honest, Qin Huairu is such a decisive person. Fortunately, she is a female fan. If she were a man, he would definitely be very difficult to deal with and have too many schemes!"

Xu Damao sighed and said that he and Qin Huairu had a brief romance, which cost a lot of money at the time. If He Yukai had not reminded him in time, his family would probably not be so harmonious.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's appearance now, Xu Damao shuddered. Is Yi Zhonghai miserable? He is very miserable. Yi Zhonghai was a well-known figure both in the factory and in Nanluoguxiang back then. Now he has disappeared from everyone's sight. No one knows what kind of miserable ending he will have in the future. It must not be good!
The next day, Xu Damao and Nan Yi's houses were transferred to He Yukai. Now there were only two families left, so He Yukai went straight to their door.

"Brother, I think you already know about the compound, right? Now I have bought all the houses in the compound except yours and the Yan family's house in the front yard. I won't beat around the bush. Sell your house to me!"

"I can't sell this house. My son is getting married next month. I bought it as a wedding house for him. I can't find a suitable house if I sell it now!"

"You can also move out after you get married!"

"That won't work!"

This old guy heard that the He family is rich, so he is ready to raise the price. He Yukai can naturally see what this guy means. His eyes roll around and he rubs his thumb and index finger. Isn't it obvious that he wants He Yukai to make a bid!

He Yukai will never tolerate these bad habits. If you have a good attitude, it's no problem to give you an extra 100 or 200 yuan. But with this attitude, don't blame him for being rude.

He Yukai didn't want to waste time and turned to leave. This guy looked honest before, but he was not unaware of his collusion with Yan Bugui in the past two days. Xu Damao saw the two of them whispering to each other. What else could the newcomers have to discuss secretly? Apart from the matter of the house, there was no news in this compound.

He Yukai called Yangzi Lei's apprentice. Yangzi Lei was already over 80 years old. Knowing that He Yukai wanted to renovate the yard, he forced his son to come over to supervise the apprentice's construction. This was to be his last supervision.

"Master Li, I have bought all the houses in this compound except for these two. You can build a wall in front of these two houses first, and then start the renovation!"

"Director He, this..."

Master Li, the apprentice of Yangzi Lei, looked at He Yukai in embarrassment. It was obvious that there were people living in these two houses. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to build a wall between them?
"It's okay. The whole compound has been sold. These two families want to raise the price. I have already asked the street office. I bought 90% of the house, so the public area of ​​the compound is mine. Although there is no clear regulation, it is a convention. Since these two families want to sell it at a high price, I don't want it. I will sell it all for the next two years!

This family can enter and exit from the compound next door, as long as the compound next door agrees to open a door for them. As for which family at the door can enter and exit from the street, they can open the door themselves!
Although I don’t need this little money, I’m not a sucker either!”

"get it"

Master Li has renovated many houses during this period, and this situation is not uncommon. Since He Yukai said so, we just have to do as He Yukai says.

"Haha, Director He is still the same as he was when he was young. He doesn't tolerate any injustice. I will do as Director He says!"

"Okay, Master!"

"Master Lei, thank you for your compliment. I originally wanted to negotiate well to get it. After all, three generations of our He family have lived in this compound. It is still a good ancestral home. I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing in the end. As long as they are willing, I can't do anything. I am not a fool with a lot of money to be taken advantage of!

If we can't reach an agreement, there's no point in talking anymore. There's no time to mess around with them!"

"Yeah, in this kind of situation, you have to use your strength to defeat your opponent's skill. There's no need to keep getting entangled!"

Yangzi Lei has seen quite a few nail households. Most of them want too much and always feel that they can make a fortune from this. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. If they can avoid you, they would rather spend more money than encourage such a trend.
